Suppression of Leukocyte Chemotaxis in Vitro by Chemotherapeutic Agents Used in the Management of Thermal Injuries.

摘要

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes from burned patients exhibit suppressed chemotaxis possibly related to the susceptibility of such patients to opportunistic infection. This study assesses the effect of normal serum upon burn-suppressed leukocytes and the effects of three commonly used topical chemotherapeutic agents upon the chemotaxis exhibited by granulocytes from normal controls.
